Which would take longer?
1. Tie 65 flies all the same. or 2. Tie 65 unfamiliar flies of all different kinds?

Number 1. is easier of course.... tie 65 flies that you already know how to tie quickly and easily. For this you get back 65 flies of all different types. That would have taken you ages to research and tie up yourself. A bonus is you also get the recipes for them without having to look them up your self.
You end up with 65 flies you can now use as models for your tying bench.

Now thats a deal.

I was going to dress the Bugger version of the Camasunary Killer, but times awasting and
I cannot find the correct colour of Arctic Fox for the tail and dubbing.
So I shall dress the original wet fly version, I will post a picture and recipe soon.

Very glad to see you are on the mend.
I had to wait for a couple of days after I got my cast off. I tried it right away but It ached the first couple of days and was a bit weak but soon strengthened a bit and I was able to tie on about the third or fourth day. I did all 65 in about 3 days after that. Took me longer to get around to mailing them than it did to tie them .

Well the cast came off and wow that a nasty looking finger....freddy Kruger would be proud.
Seems they actually cut the thing wide open because it got crushed really bad.....its only a pinky ...gonna try to do more flies asap...did just finish #1. Of course I now have a splint that is as big as the cast ...and it stays on til after new years

I'm going to be out of town for the next few days for the opening of deer season. If any packages arrive, I won't be able to update until this weekend most likely.
